Question

5. You are buying orange juice for $3.50 per container and have a gift card worth $5. The function f(x) = 3.50x-5 represents your total cost f(x) if you buy x containers of orange juice and use the gift card. How much would you pay for 4 containers of orange juice?

Answer 1

$9

Explanation:

If you do 3.5*4 then you get 14. You then use the $5 gift card so you subtract 5 from 14 and get 9

using the equation, that would be f(x) = (3.5*4)-5. Using PEMDAS, you would do the parenthesis first so it would be f(x) = 14-5 which equals 9
